This bridge over the Vouvaris river is a nice spot to look for some roosting migrants, and to enjoy the massive numbers of pond turtles.

Description

Just past the Vouvaris river mouth, the road crosses the river over a small bridge. This is a great resting spot to enjoy some local breeding species, roosting migrants and to enjoy massive numbers of pond turtles. These turtles are being fed often, and tend to come towards you while standing on the bridge. The area is nicely sheltered by taller trees, which can be great for migrants, like flycatchers and warblers. Sometimes, Sittelle de Krüper comes down here too. In winter, this is a good spot for Martin-pêcheur d'Europe.

Just north of the area, there's a small track eastwards that leads you next to several rocky outcrops. These are great for breeding Traquet oreillard, Monticole bleu and Sittelle de Neumayer. The surrounding bushes are great for Bruant zizi.

The open fields just south of the bridge are great for migrating chats and shrikes, so check the wires and fences. Rollier d'Europe has been seen here often too during spring migration.

Accès

You can park your car near the bridge and walk around the area (see map). Several small trails lead you through the small wooded area, but are great to scan for migrants.
